Title: is anyone else tired of these elderly skater videos
Post by: Your Cousin Marvin on January 27, 2022, 10:31:40 AM
i'm tired of seeing someone's old ass grampaw doing a fingie flip or an 80 year old granny doing kickturns on a gentle bank. Bare mins if your geriatric uncle can kickflip a 3- i'd be a little interested- but seeing Aunt Myrtle riding down a driveway or Old Man Caruthers dropping in is not impressive, i can do that shit standing on my head.

I'm sick of all these clips of 20-somethings skating. Congrats, you can skate well, with your young-ass body, no responsibilities, waking up every morning without your own mortality breathing down your neck.

WHACK

Any excuse to post Mackey footage is a winner, one of the true goats. His white hair defo makes him look older than he is though, he's still a young buck!

I see far too many comments on SLAP from people who "used to skate" or "I just got back into skating" and the best "I'm 30 something, I'm so old".... If you see an older person skating and especially dedicated enough to film a full part, then one should recognize that "lifers" are who keep skateboarding going. Sure all the young kids buy everything, but what's the percentage of drop-outs who quit, especially when all their friends do? The lifers are the ones who find a way, regardless of school, family, friends, work and life in general. I know all the young people here want to see all the gnarliest stuff, but if someone is still out getting after it in their 40's, 50's and beyond, regardless of what level they are skating at, give them some fucking credit, they've earned it.
